Help dating Ruth photo

Does anyone know the year this image was taken?

It's either very late in his career, or possibly even post-retirement, like when he coached for Brooklyn in 1938.

This is spring training '33. Looks to be after this. But before Brooklyn would be my guess. Would he wear the pinstripes then?

Not likely, I didn't pick up on that. His face and girth actually look like the early 1940s Ruth, would be interesting to know.

Most definitely. I just watched a clip of Babe v. Walter Johnson. 1942? It's somewhere around then. You're right.
